I enjoyed this seminar. What blessing it is to (finally) learn (of) one's heritage. Thank you for this well articulated and documented contribution.

There are 10 Chinese surnames from Sogdians. They are our cousins. I hope the Chinese government can help them.

Sogdians were the Iranic people who lived on the north side of Oxus river in Central Asia, in what is today Tajikistan and southern Uzbekistan. Modern Tajiks are the direct descendants of Sogdians. To the south of Oxus river another Iranic people by the name of Bactrians lived. The modern Tajiks in northern Afghanistan are the descendants of ancient Bactrians.

S shape pattern on the cup goes back to Aryan early religion not Roman. I understand the root of the mistake as people in West resemble everything to Roman not other earlier civilization in Iranian plateau.

It's baffling to me how little research has been done on such an important people group in the ancient world, considering these people are basically the ones who made and operated the Silk Road.

Banqueters` dress is definitely an ancient Iranian custom. It should not be difficult to recognize it.

Did An Lushan start the revolt because he was unhappy with the Tang court not agreeing to fight the Arab conquest that threatened the homeland of the Sogdians?

Uzbeks with caucasian race are not real uzbeks. They are turkified sogdians and khorezmians. We don't have any relationship with nomadic uzbeks. Long live sogdians!!!

I’m sorry to say this, but the constant lip smacking and tongue sticking makes this unbearable to listen to no matter how interesting or rare the information is. Be conscious of this if you are lecturing. I would fail if she was my professor. Also, I feel like it should be well within her pay grade, with her credentials, to know the Sogdians were a mixed race people and culture of Scythian (Aryans ), Medians, exiled Jews, Danaans (Aka Dians aka Danites Aka Achaeans, Aka Yavanas aka Greeks). Please disregard people’s sensitivities and stick to evidence and facts if available.

I read that when the Sogdians become middle men in china they change their names to Su. A NAME THAT APPEARS IN CHINA'S BRONZE AGE .

Gosh she sounds older than she looks - she needs a glass of water for this lecture to talk faster instead of mouth sticking and so many pauses for memory!

you just discredit your entire lecture when you said "hunnic invasion" during Tang empire. Your knowledge on central asian studies are mere on surface. Your presentation might convince your fellow church goers on a casual Sunday afternoon, but it is definitely not qualified for a proper historian lecture.
